    Thanx to all for the help from the members here, this is a great site, and I have enjoyed my time here, learned a bunch that helped me. Wish I could have gotten together with some members for a ride. I have traded my 1976 Explorer "Blue Pony" in on a 2013 F150 FX4 Ecoboost, my dealer gave me...

    Screaming Mad - 351W Cams ??

    WOW, did not see this coming ............... the block has a lifter hole out of spec and looks like the machine shop had sleeves in all lifter ports except this one causing that lifter to work the crap out of the cam lobe and ultimate quick failure. Also took out the piston at that location...

    Screaming Mad - 351W Cams ??

    Wow, thanx for all the responses, where to start ....... These problems seem to all originate from the machine shop. Found out today, my service manager buddy is tearing it down again. #1. My current mechanics are stellar, the Ford dealer exceptional, (3) re-tear downs at no charge. #2. I...

    Screaming Mad - 351W Cams ??

    Just had the 3rd cam go out on my 351 in 20,000 miles. Only 5300 miles since the last total rebuild of this motor. Competition CAMS, the previous were Edelbrock, motor has been fully checked out at the machine shop. Correct install with Joe Gibbs Racing lube etc. by FORD mech. Is this a...

    Need Overdrive Trans - Any such Beast???

    Update Haven't been real happy with this carburator's performance, so had it really gone over. Fuel was in the oil causing excessively burning of oil (1 qt. every 200 milles) for this new of a motor (< 10,000 miles.). Found it was WAAYY over jetted in the secondary's from the day i bought it...

    Ride Quality with Wildhorses Springs

    I have the 5 inch front coils and 5.5 11 pack in the rear. Been running them since 2003. I drive my EB alot, and after break-in the ride is superb both on and on road. I went with rancho 9000 adjustable shocks and regularly change the settings based on whether pavement or off road. I believe...

    Need Overdrive Trans - Any such Beast???

    hmmmmm, that is exactly what is going on. Backfires when it is cold (under 5 degrees) and "fart kicks' but does not start. I know the more timing the harder it is to turn the motor when it is hot, same hold true when super cold??? So generally speaking, is this Holley Truck Avenger really the...

    Need Overdrive Trans - Any such Beast???

    OK, have been keeping track of numbers etc., took a long road trip for a Predator hunt this weekend, and had a couple legs that was easy to maintain some constant speeds, this is what I experienced; edited the list to compare; 32.5 inch diamter BFG's; 60 mph = 2600 rpm = 14.2 mpg ...

    Need Overdrive Trans - Any such Beast???

    That is very VERY interesting ............. I see wherer they address being able to handle the added power of my built 351. That might be my only resistance to doing this. ;D;D Thank you for the link!!

    Need Overdrive Trans - Any such Beast???

    I highly agree, hence why I reposted my numbers I re-calculated my tire od difference and I also found that you can put about 2-3 gallons into the rear tank before it has standing fuel, that adjusted my numbers. One point, I am not oblivious to the fact an OD won't pay for itself real quick via...

    Need Overdrive Trans - Any such Beast???

    Some update info; My MSD coil has been affecting my performance (mileage) it was toast, got stranded in the back country chasing wolves/coyotes) grrrr. So the new one really woke the motor up, and I had some mph & rpm numbers off also due to tire diameter calcs: 32.5 inch diamter BFG's; 60...

    Need Overdrive Trans - Any such Beast???

    Nothing secret, common good tuning combined with good parts. I have a holley Truck Avenger 670 carb which I re-jetted the primary down about 4 sizes, adjusted the floats. I run a mallory distributor/wires/coil with 34 degrees timing (18 initial here @ 5200 ft.), edelbrock intake, K&N intake...
